        And what was the point of trying to reason with a war mongering lunatic? He invaded anyway, France capitulated. Lesson being: you cannot appease dictators and wannabe (for now) invaders. And you should never appease fascists.

      Kurt Schuschnigg, Austrian Chancellor, went to talk with Hitler in 1938, and under his pressure added Austrian Nazis to his government, for example on the Interior Minister post.

      France officially complained about the re-militarization of the Rhineland in 1936, and later about the Anschluss of Austria in 1938.

      Poland talked to Hitler and rejected their demands to hand over Danzig in 1937.

      So I guess yes, on specific points at specific times. But I’m not sure if that’s the kind of thing you meant?
